Background technology
Hepatitis E is that (Hepatitis E Virus HEV) infects and to cause, and it is one of main viral hepatitis, and majority is self limiting by hepatitis E virus.The symptom and the hepatitis A of hepatitis E are similar, but case fatality rate is higher, and symptom is heavier: pregnant woman's case fatality rate can be up to 20%, and chronic hepatitis patients merges HEV and infect and be prone to cause liver failure, and mortality ratio reaches 70%.
HEV mainly passes through intestinal transmitted, but also can propagate through blood transfusion or vertical approach, usually cause large-scale eruption and prevalence.Since nearly half a century, document has been put down in writing nearly ten of the hepatitis E great outbursts more than ten thousand examples, and wherein biggest one betides the Chinese Xinjiang of 1986-1988,119,280 examples of falling ill altogether, and dead 707 people are comprising 414 pregnant woman.Because people are very limited to the research of HEV, therefore hepatitis E is in a kind of unheeded state for a long time.Got into since 21 century, along with the sensitivity and specific the increasing substantially of hepatitis E diagnostic reagent, increasing hepatitis E case is made a definite diagnosis.According to statistics, the population in the whole world nearly 1/3rd once infected HEV.
More and more evidences shows, hepatitis E is a kind of people beast disease that takes a disease altogether.Pig is the main animal host of HEV, and is the important contagium of human hepatitis E.Chinese scholar is to 9 of 120 pig farms of 20 provinces and cities, the whole nation and importquarantine; The HEV infection conditions of 055 pig has been carried out serosurvey; The result confirms that the HEV in the Chinese commodity pig infects extremely common; Total infection rate is up to 83%, and from domestic a plurality of geographic pigs, has been separated to the HEV virus strain.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a kind of RNA viruses of sub-thread normal chain, and its capsid is the icosahedron symplex structure of the T=3 that dressed up by the single structure protein groups, the genome of the about 7.2kb of parcel.The diameter of HEV virion is about 27~34nm, no coating.The HEV genome comprises 5 ' end cap shape structure and poly A tract; And comprise three overlapped open reading frame (ORF:ORF1; ORF2 and ORF3), its both sides be respectively 5 of a weak point ' end non-coding region (5 ' UTR) with one by the short 3 ' end non-coding region (3 ' UTR) of polyadenylic acid terminated.ORF1 is about 5kb, is positioned at 5 ' end of coding region, is the maximum opening code-reading frame of HEV, and it mainly act as: in the presence of RNA synthetic enzyme, coding duplicates relevant Nonstructural Protein (pORF1) with viral RNA.ORF2 is about 2kb, is positioned at 3 ' end of coding region, is the primary structure gene coding region of HEV, and it mainly act as: coding viral capsid proteins pORF2---a kind ofly contain 660 amino acid whose glycosylated proteins.Recently also combine activity to ORF2 albumen with the special RNA of HEV genome 5 ' end and study, the result shows that both interactions have the formation that helps viral capsid.ORF 3 is little opening code-reading frames, and function is not illustrated as yet.The research prompting is arranged at present, and HEV ORF3 albumen possibly play an important role at aspects such as cell signalling, the assembling of HEV particle, release and immunity.
According to the homology of ORF2 structural protein gene, HEV can be divided into 4 main genotype at least.Molecule epidemic disease-ology research shows that HEV gene 1 type and 2 types mainly infect the mankind, often cause eruption and prevalence; Gene 3 types and 4 types are the infection animal and the mankind simultaneously, are sporadic popular.The HEV representative strains of four kinds of types is respectively Burma's strain, Mexico's strain, U.S.'s strain and Chinese variant.At present, chicken HEV is classified as gene 5 types.Various HEV has higher homology on the ORF2 aminoacid sequence, this causes on the HEV serology HEV all over the world to be same serotype.But the cross protection between each genotype virus has been simplified the difficulty of vaccine development greatly.
At present, the cell cultures of HEV and tissue culture all fail to succeed.Yet, since the virus-like particle of HEV (virus-like particle VLP) has good immunoreactivity and immunogenicity, can be used for developing the recombined hepatitis E hepatitis vaccine.Therefore, both at home and abroad the development of hepatitis E vaccine is mainly following: obtain structural protein through various expression systems, then in vivo or external the structural protein assembling is become virus-like particle (VLP), thereby prepare the VLP vaccine.At present; The report that is used for vaccine research about HEV VLP comprises as follows: (1) is through utilizing baculovirus/insect cell expression HEV ORF2 fragment aa112-aa 07; Can in cell lysate, obtain the HEV VLP (Robinson etc. of self-assembly in the body; Protein Expr Purif.1998,12 (1): 75-84); (2) utilize escherichia coli expression HEV ORF2 fragment aa368-aa606, it can be self-assembled into (Li etc., Vaccine.2005,23:2893-2901 into HEV VLP external; Li etc., JBC.2005,28 (5): 3400-3406).
Up to now; The hepatitis E vaccine that gets into clinical trial in the world has two kinds: a kind of is VLP vaccine by the HEV ORF2 fragment aa112-606 that comprises baculovirus/insect cell expression of GSK company development; It is compeled you the Buddhist nun and has got into the II clinical trial phase; Shown good immunogenicity, yet because a variety of causes, this research is interrupted; Another kind is the VLP vaccine that comprises the HEV ORF2 fragment aa368-aa606 of escherichia coli expression, and it has accomplished the III clinical trial phase, has shown good security and protectiveness (Zhu etc., Lancet, 2010).This shows that HEV VLP has good immunoreactivity and immunogenicity, can be used for developing the hepatitis E vaccine, is the ideal form of hepatitis E vaccine.
Therefore, the assembling of HEV VLP and regulatory mechanism have important theory and actual directive significance for the correlative study of hepatitis E virus and the production of hepatitis E vaccine.The present invention has illustrated the composition mechanism of HEV VLP through experiment, and a kind of method that is used for HEV capsid protein or its variant are assembled into VLP is provided on this basis, and the new method for preparing HEV VLP is provided.

Embodiment 1: derived from the state of p239 in urea of HEV capsid protein
According to method (Chinese invention patent: the ZL 02822218.0 that describes before; People such as Li, JBC, 2005; With people such as Li, Vaccine, 2005), clone, expression and purifying are derived from the p239 (HEV ORF2 aa368-606, its nucleotide sequence and aminoacid sequence are respectively shown in SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2) of hepatitis E virus capsid protein.P239 albumen has kept the ability that is assembled into virus-like particle of HEV capsid protein, is used to analyze the composition mechanism of HEV VLP.P239 albumen mainly with the form of inclusion body at expression in escherichia coli.Behind the washing purifying; Most of p239 protein dissolution in the inclusion body is in the 4M urea soln; Use then anion-exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography in the solution that contains 4M urea with the purity more than the p239 protein purification to 95%, to be used for follow-up analysis.In addition, express with same method and purifying derived from the E2 albumen (HEV ORF2aa394-606, its nucleotide sequence and aminoacid sequence are respectively shown in SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ IDNO:4) of HEV capsid protein.The E2 proteins lose be assembled into the ability (referring to people such as Li, JBC, 2005) of virus-like particle, with comparing.
According to the method for describing before, operational analysis type ultracentrifuge (XL-A type, U.S. Beckman company produces); Through sedimentation rate method and sedimentation equilibrium method (Schuck P etc.; Biophys J, 2000,78:1606-1619) measure the state of p239 in the 4M urea soln.Mensuration result is as shown in Figure 1.The result shows that p239 albumen presents one-component in the 4M urea soln, and its settling ratio is 1.7s, and frictional coefficient is 1.94 (Figure 1A), and molecular weight is 45772 ± 730Da (theoretical monomer molecule amount is 25521Da) (Fig. 1 C).This shows that p239 albumen is the single dimeric forms of component in the 4M urea soln, and the non-globular preteins of comparatively unfolding for structure (frictional coefficient of globular preteins is 1.2).Reference protein E2 also is the dimeric forms of homogeneous in the 4M urea soln, and its settling ratio is 2.0s, and frictional coefficient is 1.94 (Figure 1B), and molecular weight is 40981 ± 1523Da (theoretical monomer molecule amount is 23097Da) (Fig. 1 D).The The above results explanation, in the 4M urea soln, the proteic state of p239 is identical with E2 albumen, and the two is the dimeric forms of homogeneous, and does not have grain fraction.
The discovery of the key factor of embodiment 2:p239 particle assembling
When utilizing hydrophobic interaction chromatography that the p239 albumen in the 4M urea soln is carried out purifying, need to use ammonium sulfate to increase proteic hydrophobicity.Usually, when carrying out Phenyl FFSepharose chromatography, contain 1M ammonium sulfate in the sample solution, and the final solution that contains 0.1-0.2M ammonium sulfate of using carries out the proteic wash-out of p239.Behind wash-out, generally make the p239 protein renaturation and be assembled into particle through the denaturing agent urea of removing in the solution.In this application, the contriver is surprised to find that, the ammonium sulfate in the urea soln is increased to 0.3M at least; And after placing for some time; P239 albumen can be assembled into particle under the situation that urea exists, and need not to remove urea (that is, whether existing irrelevant with urea).It below is result of study to proteic composition mechanism of p239 and process.
The proteic renaturation of p239 receives the influence of the ammonium sulfate of different concns
Purified p239 albumen (in the 4M urea soln) is diluted to 1.0mg/ml, and in solution, adds (NH
4)
2SO
4Until final concentration is 0M, 0.3M, 0.5M or 1M, and the concentration of urea keeps 4M constant.Place 37 ℃ to hatch respectively 24 hours each protein sample, then respectively to the PBS solution renaturation of dialysing.In addition, also handle E2 albumen in the same way, with comparing.After the processing, described in embodiment 1, measure each p239 sample and the state of E2 sample in PBS solution through sedimentation rate method.
The result is as shown in Figure 2.The result shows that the processing of ammonium sulfate has promoted the p239 particulate to form (Fig. 2 A-D).Especially, the p239 sample (that is 0M (NH, that handles without ammonium sulfate
4)
2SO
4) present the components (Fig. 2 A) of two kinds of different sizes after the renaturation, show that the processing of ammonium sulfate can impel p239 to form the more particle of homogeneous; Through 0.5M (NH
4)
2SO
4The p239 sample of handling presents the particle (Fig. 2 C) of homogeneous.By contrast, the E2 albumen of handling through the same manner all is rendered as single 2.7S component, and this shows that E2 albumen still is dimeric forms, and particle assembling (Fig. 2 E-H) does not take place.
D239 albumen is assembled into the particulate evidence in urea
As before described, utilize extreme ultraviolet circular dichroism (Circular Dichroism, CD) spectrum, near ultraviolet circular dichroism spectrum (Beychok S; 1966, Science, 154 (754): 1288-1299); Sieve chromatography is analyzed (Regnier FE, 1983, Science; 222 (4621): 245-252) with dynamic light scattering analysis (Bnachowicz E; 2006, Biochim Biophys Acta, 1764 (3): 405-413) etc. method detect p239 albumen in the 4M urea of the ammonium sulfate that contains different concns (0.3M, 0.5M or 1.0M) at 37 ℃ of states after hatching 6 hours.
At room temperature in CD spectrograph (J-810 type; Japan JASCO company produces) go up the p239 albumen (containing in the 4M urea of 0.3M ammonium sulfate) measuring unassembled p239 albumen (in 4M urea), handle through 0.3M ammonium sulfate and through the extreme ultraviolet and the near ultraviolet CD spectrum of the p239 of the tangential flow renaturation particle p239 particle of assembling (that is, through).Employed parameter is following: sensitivity 2m °/cm; Waveband width 1nm; Time constant 1sec; Sweep velocity 50nm/min.The CD data are with ellipse value (θ) expression, and unit is milli degree (mdeg).The employed sample concentration of extreme ultraviolet CD spectroscopic analysis is 4mg/ml, and scanning wavelength is 190-260nm, and the cuvette optical path is 0.01cm; The employed sample concentration of near ultraviolet CD spectrum is 0.5mg/ml, and scanning wavelength is 260-320nm, and the cuvette optical path is 1cm.
The result is as shown in Figure 3.The result of CD spectroscopic analysis shows; The proteic CD spectrum of p239 through ammonium sulfate is handled is more similar with the p239 particulate CD spectrum of warp assembling; And having significantly different (referring to Fig. 3 A and 3B) with the proteic CD spectrum of unassembled p239, the p239 albumen that this explanation is handled through ammonium sulfate is structurally more similar with the p239 particle.The result that sieve chromatography is analyzed shows; Through p239 sample that ammonium sulfate (0.3M, 0.5M or 1.0M) is handled under the situation that 4M urea exists; Formed the identical grain fraction of p239 particle of assembling with warp, it significantly is different from unassembled p239 albumen (referring to Fig. 3 C).The result that dynamic light scattering is analyzed shows, under the situation that 4M urea exists, formed the particle (referring to Fig. 3 D) of radius for about 20nm through p239 albumen that ammonium sulfate is handled.These evidences all show; In urea, add certain density ammonium sulfate and 37 ℃ hatch 6 hours after; P239 albumen promptly can be assembled into particle, and need not to remove denaturing agent urea (whether irrelevant with the existence of urea), and the proteic particle assembling of this explanation p239 can be induced through certain salt concn.
